The October showcase is here and I think it is one of my favourites so far. Pixie has had an excellent month: 14,500 site visitors and the total number of downloads hitting close to 5000 now. Thanks to everyone for trying it out and all the tips and advice that have been flying around the forums as well. The next release is in development but being delayed by a bug that is affecting some sites in different time zones. You can track the bug fixes as we make them on the release notes wiki page.

One year on
Last Friday was Pixie's first birthday (yes.. it has taken me a week to find the time to write this post). To celebrate we thought it would be nice to reflect on some of the stats from the year and give out a few freebies as well.

November site showcase
It looks like we have started a trend in site showcasing for CMSs; Wordpress announced yesterday that it is launching its very own showcase... but lets face it, none are as good as what you can do with Pixie (*cough*). We have another great showcase this month:

Using MAMP as a local development server
This is the most geeky post we have ever put up on the blog, but having spent the last four hours knee deep in DNS, Apache and everywhere in-between I feel this information needs to be shared.
I will start off by explaining my requirements. I am thinking of buying a Mac Pro to use as my main machine and to replace the Linux server we currently have setup in the corner of the office. If the Mac Pro is going to replace the Linux box it needs to provide us with a web server (as well as file sharing, media sharing etc) and the web server needs to be accessible over the local network to all other machines in the office. Our Linux box is serving us well but I see an opportunity to merge two computers into one; making for a greener office and hopefully it will be a little easier to manage (I am far more comfortable in OSX than ClarkConnect). We call our Linux machine "tux", it has its own DNS server that means we can access it over the network at tux.lan. It works well but one of my issues with it has been having to install websites into sub-directories. For example our local toggle website sits at tux.lan/toggle.uk.com. Because our local sites do not live in a root web folder our local sites can have a number of differences compared to the live sites, these differences mean we have to be careful when deploying changes.
